Sesame Cardi

REstarted: August 25, 2009
Completed: November 28, 2009

The knitting was finished for this way back in October. The seaming of the shoulders took forever. It also took forever just to find some buttons. I'm still not quite happy with the ones I had to settle for. This was definitely a learning experience. I have learned that patterns with set-in sleeves, are ones I need to stay away from!!

This was a fun knit. I would've finished it sooner had I not changed my mind after I had already started chart B in the small size. It looked way too small so I ripped back to the stockinette part and opted to do the large version. Once I got to the lace charts, near the very end, I knew I was going to run out of yarn! So there was a yarn emergency as well. All in all, it turned out fantastic and it's all because of the yarn!
